Senior Business Analyst — Product Development & Client Enablement About this position

Ascentt is an Enterprise AI company that builds AI products, intelligent platforms, and enterprise solutions for leading automotive and manufacturing organizations. Our teams work on enterprise AI, intelligent agents, modern data platforms, cloud-native engineering, and advanced analytics to solve complex business problems that deliver measurable outcomes in production.

Experience : 8+ years

We are seeking an experienced Senior Business Analyst to play a key role in the continued development and client enablement of an enterprise platform that supports complex business planning and delivery processes.

The Senior Business Analyst will work closely with product leadership, client stakeholders, development teams, and QA teams to ensure that business needs are deeply understood, translated into well-defined product requirements, progressively refined with the delivery team, comprehensively tested, and successfully validated with users.

• Independently lead working sessions with client stakeholders and subject matter experts, requirements workshops, application walkthroughs, feedback sessions, and capability reviews, probing beyond stated requests to understand the underlying business need, challenge assumptions, and identify gaps and edge cases.
• Translate product direction, design concepts, and client needs into structured functional requirements, user journeys, process flows, business rules, and user stories with clear business context and testable acceptance criteria.
• Maintain traceability from business needs through requirements, stories, testing, and client feedback.
• Collaborate with distributed onsite and offshore development teams to refine the backlog, provide rapid functional clarification during development, and ensure the original business intent is preserved as solutions are designed and built.
• Partner with QA to define business scenarios and expected outcomes, review and challenge test coverage beyond the happy path and perform selective hands‑on validation of important workflows.
• Prepare client working teams to evaluate functionality in realistic scenarios and lead UAT and application validation sessions.
• Capture, categorize, and triage client feedback, distinguishing defects, usability improvements, configuration needs, client‑specific requirements, and reusable product enhancements, and drive findings to resolution with named owners.
• Provide functional readiness recommendations to product leadership for features and pilots, along with analysis that informs product refinement, positioning, and go‑to‑market messaging.
• Develop functional expectations and evaluation scenarios for AI‑assisted capabilities, considering output quality, consistency, explainability, guardrails, and human‑review patterns where AI behavior differs from deterministic functionality.
• The Senior Business Analyst works collaboratively across these areas, story readiness is achieved together with the development team, and the role complements rather than replaces the dedicated QA function.

A Note on AI-Enabled Product Analysis

The platform incorporates AI-assisted functionality, and experience with AI-enabled products will be a differentiating capability for this role. The Senior Business Analyst is not expected to be an AI engineer or data scientist, but should be able, or strongly motivated, to understand how AI-enabled functionality differs from traditional deterministic application behavior, and to help define how such capabilities are specified, evaluated, and validated from a business and user perspective.

• 8+ years of experience in Business Analysis, Product Business Analysis, Business Systems Analysis, or a comparable role supporting enterprise technology products or solutions.
• Strong experience analyzing business processes and translating complex business needs into structured functional requirements.
• Ability to rapidly develop functional understanding of complex enterprise business processes without requiring deep prior expertise in a specific business domain.
